reports the story below:
Yesterday the mill in Baltimore turned out

When the Knights of Labor obtain
command of the country. however,
every citizen known of all men by a
legal trademark will be disfranchised.
How do We know?
Read Section III, Article XVII, of
the Revised Constitution of the Noble

ted instantaneously to the night air
Of the assembly.
Hence, it is likely the converted bar
keeper, the redeemed lawyer and the
reformed banker will be treated for
time as those whose feet are tender.
This will be well, for while few may
be called, many will become noblemen
for politics only.
Which leads to the observation that
the "citizens of Plebia," a political
body with no sign, grip, or password,
but who believe that God enslaved
Nature to do His bidding that He
might liberate the human will-thcse
will do we'll to watch the development
OF secret movements to carry out public
purposes.
The fear is already felt that one of
the constitutionallY prescribed of
the organic reprobates, will carry the
Noble Order in Cumberland, the latter
to reciprocate by carrying a lawyer
INTO the Legislature to represent there
an organization Of which he cannot
become member.
If there be any substance IN that
scheme we expect to lend some aid to
those Of the Noble Order who are too
proud, too manly, too good to stultify
any kind of knighthood in that way.
A RECENT article going the rounds
cites reasons why the canal should be
extended to Westernport, among them
the following:
A connection at that point would also ena-

veins and rival companies which have their

Why the canal should want to be
independent of the small veinsr and
what rival companies" it has centre

seem to require marginal notes by way
of explanation.
Nor all the Cumberland papers re-
gard real estate advertisements as
testimonials of a boom. Indeed the
Cumberland wees wants no
better evidence that the times are i'm
proving than the fact that 81 marriage licenses
were issued out of Clerk humans office
during May.
The Meas is right, and it is not a
matrimonial advertising agency either.
W. II. BAILEY, of the executive committee
Of the X Of L.. says that when parties leave

Good baseball doctrine anyway.

WITHOUT being authorized to speak
for Flintsone we believe that whoever
finds the traditional silver mine lost at
that place in 1922 can return the same

inquiry might elicit.
